[Chewbacca]

Let me be the devil...

The irony here is the State had previously issued a valid license to this lady.
There was no problem with her face being covered before 9-11 and I highly doubt lettting her face being covered would have led to any terrorist attacks.

I bet that if 9-11 didn't happened this would be a non-issue and the integrity of this womans strict beliefs would be intact.

The state should focus spend its money pursuing legitimate threats. They may as well ban plastic surgury, wig wearing, beard growing, and sunglass wearing for all they have accomplished.

Also I saw no mention of a compromise like a sufficiently translucent veil covering the face that would allow for positive ID.

Driving is a priveledge that should only be denied for driving-related offenses or due to incompentancy.
Considering one's livelyhood can be effect in areas with-out public transportation, driving can be a neccessity for some.

I have too many questions and doubts to think this is a huge benifit to society, that I am any safer from terror because of it, or that my nation is any freer or more enlightened because of it.

The circumstances that brought this all about leads me to believe that the Gov. has nothing better to do than make sure all Arabs and Muslims had valid drivers license pictures.


Ultimately I think they never should of let her take a license picture with the veil in the first place.
